۞ AND [there came a time when] We inspired Moses thus: "Go forth with My servants by night: for, behold, you will be pursued!" 52 So Firon sent heralds into the cities; 53 Most surely these are a small company; 54 but they are indeed filled with hatred of us 55 And most surely we are a vigilant multitude. 56 As such We expelled them from their gardens and their fountains, 57 their treasures and a noble station. 58 Thus it was; and We made the children of Israel possess them. 59 So the Firaun’s people followed them at sunrise. 60 And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught. 61 'No, indeed' he replied, 'my Lord is with me and He will guide me' 62 Thereupon We inspired Moses thus: Strike the sea with thy staff!" - whereupon it parted, and each part appeared like a mountain vast. 63 We also brought the other party close to the same spot, 64 And We delivered Musa and those with him together. 65 and then We caused the others to drown. 66 Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers. 67 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful. 68
